Situated in northern Nagano, Japan, La Colina Outdoor is a licensed travel agency specializing in creating bespoke snow adventures and tailor-made nature and outdoor tours. Our offerings include ready-to-join trips and personalized packages, ensuring an unforgettable experience in the stunning mountains of Japan. Whether you’re seeking thrilling backcountry ski trips or tranquil nature excursions, La Colina Outdoor provides exceptional service and unparalleled attention to detail.
Before settling down in Nagano, we spent more than 20 years skiing and working throughout Japanese mountains, from the less-known ski resorts around Lake Biwa and Gifu, the famous Hakuba area, or the then unlikely-visited resorts of Niseko and Furano. We have supported local mountain guides to offer their services to foreign skiers and snowboarders, and assisted foreign travel agencies in planning their ski itineraries in Japan as well as acting as their local guides for their customers.
Fast-forwarded today, we complement our travel services with our owned accommodation at Madarao-Tangram ski resort, La Colina Retreat, and our backcountry gear shop and rental services, La Colina Gear.
